Atmospheric cold fronts can periodically generate storm surges and affect sediment transport in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM). In this paper, we evaluate water circulation spatiotemporal patterns induced by six atmospheric front events Wax Lake Delta (WLD) coastal Louisiana using 3-D hydrodynamic model ECOM-si. Model simulations show that channelized inter-distributary flow is significantl...

• Plant community zonation and geomorphology changed along a coastal dune segment. Variation of biogeomorphic variables alongshore correlated with shoreline trends. Two distinct ecogeomorphic states have been identified in close proximity. Identified explained by long-term change rates. Sediment retention capacity local vegetation was low due to abiotic factors. Coastal dunes are complex landfo...

Background. In the 21st century, exploration works in previously discovered Jurassic deposits has been launched north of Yamal Peninsula. The South Tambey field was no exception, where 3D seismic surveys and drilling have carried out over past 10 years to study sediments rocks Bazhenov formation. Due lack a data sufficient sample northern regions Western Siberia, formation poorly studied. main ...

Reprocessed, regional, 2D seismic reflection profiles, 3D volumes and well data (exploration shallow boreholes), combined with structural restorations 1D backstripping were used to study the post-salt evolution of Nordkapp Basin in Barents Sea. The took place above a pre-salt basement basin configuration affected by multiple rift events that influenced depositional facies thickness Pennsylvania...

A preliminary sediment budget for the sandy shores flanking entrance to Western Port, a large bay in Australia, was formulated using comparison between two Digital Surface Models (DSMs) with 30-year interval and auxiliary shoreline data. The 1977 DSM generated from ten aerial photographs Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry. Assessment of its accuracy obtained an RMSE 0.48 m most independ...

Abstract The Cretaceous Cordilleran foreland basin strata exposed in the Book Cliffs of eastern Utah and western Colorado have motivated important concepts linking thrust belt deformation evolution largely on basis sequence stratigraphy, stratal architecture, sediment provenance evolution. However, these methods approaches generally cannot provide critical insights into temporal or causal linka...

Tectonic inversion of passive margins is a common but poorly documented process preceding subduction inception. We perform here comprehensive land-sea experimental modeling this key by reproducing the morphotectonic and sedimentary evolution central Algerian margin over last 6 Myr. Our approach based on scaled analog models integrating interactions between crustal shortening surface processes, ...

Abstract. Since the Quaternary Period, paleo-seawater intrusions have been suggested to explain observed saline groundwater that extends far inland in coastal zones. The Luanhe River delta (northwest coast of Bohai Sea, China) is characterized by distribution saline, brine, brackish, and fresh from coastline inland. this region exhibits a wide range total dissolved solids (TDS): 0.38–125.9 g L−...

The re-emergence of groundwater at the surface shapes the Earth’s topography through a process known as seepage erosion1–5. In combination with flow over land6, seepage erosion contributes to the initiation and growth of channel networks1–5. Seepage processes have also been invoked in the formation of enigmatic amphitheatre-headed channel networks on both Earth7–11 and Mars12–14. However, the r...
